The company's stock is down some 48% from the beginning of the year, as the larger tech downturn takes its toll on the markets. Still, it comes at a critical moment for Salesforce and its now-sole CEO Marc Benioff. It's not clear if the timing of all these departures is anything more than coincidence: In a memo to employees, Butterfield wrote that his plans to depart have nothing to do with Taylor's, as Insider earlier reported. Tamar Yehoshua, Slack's chief product officer, is also resigning, as is Slack senior VP of communications Jonathan Prince. Then, earlier this week, Insider reported that Stewart Butterfield, CEO of Slack - the workplace chat app that Salesforce acquired in 2021 for $27.7 billion -will be leaving the company in the new year. In November, the company also said Gavin Patterson, the company's chief strategy officer who had previously been its chief revenue officer will depart at the end of January. Shortly afterwards came the news that Mark Nelson, the CEO of Salesforce subsidiary Tableau, and Steven Tamm, a CTO at the cloud tech giant, are also departing.
Last week, co-CEO Bret Taylor made the surprise announcement that he'd be departing the company.
